Introduction to the production of weeping crabapple bonsai

1. Material selection

If you want the bonsai to take shape faster, it is best to buy sturdier seedlings, and try to choose those with well-developed lateral roots and short and varied plants. Such seedlings are more suitable for making bonsai, and will take shape relatively quickly.

2. Transplanting

It is usually carried out in spring. When transplanting, some excess roots and branches need to be cut off, and only the side branches required for bonsai shaping need to be retained. You can first plant it in a larger pot to grow it, and then move it to a pot with higher ornamental value after it takes shape.

3. Modeling

There are many kinds of bonsai shapes. You can make it into slanted trunk style, cliff style, straight trunk style, waterside style, etc. according to your needs. Specifically, it adopts a method that combines pruning and winding. First, the bonsai is pruned to form a skeleton, then small branches are cultivated, and then brown wire and metal wire are used for winding. The branches should not be too close to each other, there should be a certain distance between them. Only with appropriate density can the weeping crabapple bonsai be more ornamental.
